A coin flip is a simple thing, a fifty-fifty chance
A decision for its outcome merits less than passing glance Equal risk for heads or tails no better to select Both the choices good though only one will prove correct Yet if there is a cost attached to which side shows its face Suddenly the bet for which to choose gets hard to place The danger of the loss creating need to dwell or contemplate Despite no change in chances, the weight demands the wait Once the loss is found is when regret and blame will brew Disregarding circumstance, what at the time one knew If only what would win was what was chosen at the fore The need to know the future blame has chosen to ignore If at the fork one option looks a better path to take Deciding which to walk upon’s a simple one to make The selection has more meaning when what’s best’s discovered there Now no longer even, a good choice is made laid bare It’s when the roads are different but none rise above the rest That suddenly the choice appears a harder kind of test Taking only one, one can only dream what others hold With any taken passage worse than what perfection told The more difficult a choice is the less it matters what to choose The harder made to make it the less difference choices lose Hindsight can find some choices wrong, but not proclaim them bad It’s in the moment of their making that the judgement must be had
